Not notable enough music work to carry it's own article. — Ṟ Ṉ™ 06:34, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep An article on the final work by a prominent composer is a reasonable feature of an encyclopaedia. The first Google Books link is to Carlos Prieto's"The Adventures of a Cello" where this is described as "an extraordinary work, both for its depth and beauty... the swan song of a great artist".

Keep - as a general rule, penultimate and ultimate works of major composers are probably epitomes of their work, so their last work or two are likely to be notable. In this case, the evidence shows at least reasonable suspicion that this meets WP:MUSIC and WP:GNG. Bearian (talk) 21:36, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
